CU LTIVATO R.

SPECIFIGATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 410,596, dated September 10, 1889.

Application filed December 24:, 1888. Serial No. 294,475- (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY D. KIPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kalamazoo, county of Kalamazoo, State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Cultivator, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of cultivators in which the shares attached to the draft-bars are adjustable as follows: The front share is vertically adj ustable-that is, can be tilted forwardly or rearwardly to change the pitch of the share and depth of cutand the rear share 011 the same bar can be adjusted 1aterallythat is, can be tilted laterally by turning on its pivotal attachment with the draft-bar in order to throw the soil toward the row of vegetation or away from said row, as desired.

The object of the invention consists in the below described and claimed improvements.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan view of a draftbar with the two shares referred to attached to said bar. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the left-hand part of Fig. 1, looking from a point above said Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of lettered details at the righthand of Fig. 1, looking from a point below the latter-named figure. Fig. a is a view of lettered details, looking from a point at the right of Fig. 1, said Fig. 4 being enlarged; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of lettered details looking from a point at the left of Fig. 1.

Referring to the lettered parts of the drawings, D is the draft-bar, here shown broken away at each end in Fig. 1, the right-hand end being the front end, and which when in use in a cultivator is attached to some suitable frame not necessary to here show.

F E are two cast blocks attached in a vertically-edgewise position to the side of bar D by the bolt 2, which bolt passes through both blocks and through the bar D. In Fig. 4 these blocks are clearly shown. The block F has a recess or channel 6, which receives the bar D, and the block E has a hole 7 through it, into which the shank of the standard 0 of the front share B is inserted, as in Fig. 1.

The bolt 2 passes through the upper end of the standard C, as clearly indicated in Fig. 4, and transversely through the hole 7. The engaging faces of these blocks F E are serrated, and by loosening the bolt 2 the block E can be tilted vertically, carrying the share B with it, and by again tightening the bolt the meshing serrations of the blocks prevent any accidental displacement.

At a I are two castings bolted together in a horizontal position by the bolt 3. This bolt also passes through the upper end of the standard T of the share A, which end of the standard T is passed into a hole 25 of the casting 1. The castings a I are serrated on their engaging faces for a similar purpose to that of the blocksE F, except that by loosening the bolt 3 the block I is turned laterally, carrying the share A with it, for the object before stated. The upper casting or block a has a raised recessed portion 0", into the recess of which the transverse bar I) is inserted and held therein by the bolt 3 passing through it, Figs. 1 and 2. The upper casting a also has a portion 0, channeled or recessed at 8 to receive the bar D. Bolts 4 4 attach the part c to the bar D. The parts a 1 c are all into gral with each other.

It should be observed that the bar I), only one end of which is here shown, would be extended in a cultivator and attached to a like casting a 1' of a duplicate of the construction shown in Fig. 1.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a cultivator, the combination of the draft-bar, the vertically-edgewise blocks having the serrated engaging faces, said blocks being attached to the front end of the draftbars by adjustingbolts, shares attached to the outer blocks, the transverse bar, the blocks attached to the'draft-bars in the rear of the front shares, said blocks having the horizontal serrated engaging faces, the upper block provided with the raised recessed portion with which the ends of the transverse bars are attached, and the channeled portions ards attached to the lower blocks, and the se- IO standard, said standard being attached to the lower block, and the securing-bolts, all combined, substantially as set forth.

In testimony of the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name in presence of two witnesses.

HENRY D. KIPP.
